"...You're already going back to work? Weren't you supposed to rest for three months? You've only been back for a month and you can't even handle it?"
Li Duo held the phone, his finger tapping on the table, and asked calmly.
Lin Jingyu said coquettishly, "I'm sorry, Aduo, but the role this time is just too outstanding, and I want to try my best."
The entertainment industry is cruel. She has only been gone for four years, and the top actresses and rising stars in the Chinese entertainment industry have all risen again. Her former status has plummeted.
Lin Jingyu has returned to China and urgently needs a high-quality role to solidify her position; otherwise, she doesn't know how much longer she will have to wait.
Her agent, Zhao Jie, kept urging her, and Lin Jingyu did want to strengthen her relationship with Li Duo, but this role was too good for her to give up.
Li Duo snorted lightly, "Since you want to do it so badly, then go ahead and do it."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "The investor in the big movie is the second young master of the Qian family in Feizhou. Aduo, do you have time to join me in inviting the second young master to dinner?"
"So that's why you suddenly invited me to dinner. It turns out you were after the former second-in-command?"
When Li Duo spoke, his tone of voice was not very varied.
"Of course, I can't possibly have dinner with the Second Young Master by myself, can I? What if people see us and gossip?"
Wen Shu placed the teacup in front of him and was about to leave when Li Duo spoke up: "Wait a moment..."
She stared at Li Duo, puzzled.
Li Duo said, "I have something else to discuss with you."
Wen Shu patiently stood still and waited for him to finish his call.
"Why would Qian Lao Er (Qian Lao Er) choose to seduce female celebrities? Of all people, why choose him?" Li Duo frowned. "He's the sole investor?"
"It's a joint investment, but he's the major shareholder." Lin Jingyu asked sweetly, "Are you coming with me?"
“If those paparazzi find out, it will show you didn’t earn the role through your own abilities,” Li Duo warned. “You’ve just returned to China, and you have a lot of rivals. You should just audition and win the role based on your acting skills.”
Lin Jingyu was dejected. "My agent said that a female celebrity surnamed Wen also likes this role. She has an advantage over me. If I don't participate, this role will be snatched away!"
Li Duo picked up on her tone, "What time? My schedule for the next two days is already set. I need to free up some time in advance."
Lin Jingyu immediately said excitedly, "Then remember to reserve time for me next Friday."
Li Duo chuckled indulgently, "Okay."
He looked up at Wen Shu: "Dinner reservation for next Friday is with Mr. Qian Er from Feizhou."
Wen Shu nodded and casually took out her notebook to write it down.
Although she didn't utter a single word, Lin Jingyu immediately realized that the person who hadn't spoken was definitely Wen Shu.
Her face turned cold. "Who is it? Your assistant?"
Li Duo responded with a "Mm".
"Aduo, is that Wen Shu?"
Li Duo looked up at Wen Shu and nodded: "Yes."
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Jingyu said, "Then please have her write it down clearly, so as not to cause any delays."
After they hung up the phone, Li Duo looked at Wen Shu and said, "The housekeeper at home is on leave. There are two sets of clothes at the mansion that need to be sent for cleaning. Could you take some time to go there?"
"Yes, Mr. Li."
The next day after get off work, Wen Shu took a taxi to Diwangtai to pick up her clothes, planning to take them home, bring them to the company the next day, and then send them to Qinghui Dry Cleaning.
She rang the doorbell, and the door opened. "Mr. Li, I've come to pick up the clothes you need to have cleaned."
Li Duo took a step back without saying a word, but his meaning was clear: let her in.
Wen Shu stood at the door without moving. "Mr. Li, where are your clothes?"
Li Duo gestured with his chin towards the room, "How are you going to get it if you don't come in?"
She hesitated for a moment, then went inside. "Where are the clothes?"
"Change your shoes."
Wen Shu took off her shoes and went inside, grabbing the nearest pair of slippers to put on. "President Li..."
Li Duo said, "I haven't eaten yet."
Wen Shu pretended not to hear: "Mr. Li, where are your clothes?"
She's his work assistant, not his nanny. What does it have to do with her if he doesn't eat?
“There are ingredients in the refrigerator,” Li Duo added.
Wen Shu spoke up this time: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I can order food for you, but I'm not obligated to cook for you."
"So, once the physical relationship is over, cooking a meal costs something else?"
Wen Shu was so speechless that she almost choked.
So Li Duo said, "Two thousand for one meal."
Li Duo took out his phone, and thirty seconds later, Wen Shu received the transfer on the spot with the note: labor fee.
Wen Shu: "..."
Li Duo said, "I've taken the money. Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry."
Wen Shu weakly raised her hand and tapped the payment button.
She slapped the hand that was counting the money, thinking, "It's all this finger's fault. How can it be so spineless?"
But two thousand for a meal is really too high.
Wen Shu put on an apron, held her hair back with a hair tie, and tied it into a ponytail.
She opened the refrigerator, and found it filled with a variety of foods.
She took out several ingredients, combined them into two dishes, and cooked the dishes at the same time the rice was cooked.
She had just put the food on the table when the doorbell rang suddenly.
Wen Shu glanced at the study; the person inside hadn't come out. She called out, "Mr. Li, your doorbell is ringing."
"The doorbell rang and you didn't answer?"
Wen Shu had no choice but to go and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Jingyu stood in the doorway. She paused for a moment when she saw Wen Shu.
Wen Shu was wearing an apron, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was wearing her slippers...
Lin Jingyu felt all the blood rush to her head. "Wen Shu? What are you doing here?"
"I've come to pick up Mr. Li's suit to take it to the dry cleaners..."
